Suggestion! Detach from uniform; Scrub with Brasso and toothbrush, then toothpaste and toothbrush and subsquentially dry off/rub with cotton-wool/bogroll; rinse throughly in clear water and tamp dry with bog/kitchen roll.. Allow to dry so as to leave no marks.
Iinstall in place and hope nobody ever finds out what a complete cÃ¼nt you are!

Gold braid can be maintained by brushing with a nail brush using a solution of 1 part ammonia to 4 parts water dry thoroughly afterward and polish with a soft, clean brush. Dampness causes the material the gold is wrapped around to oxidize so keep your braid in a dry place. Cover uniform with a suit bag when storing away.
Tailors can clean gold braid if you have time.
An extreme method I have used for very old braid, which really should be replaced, is to use silver dip on a nailbrush and brush of with water on a nail brush, dry thoroughly and then brush with a clean brush.
Light Tarnish can be removed with a good bristled brush and an old method is a bread crust rubbed on and then brushed offâ¦.crumbs.
Some of the suggestions you have been given scare me slightly. Bear in mind I clean a lot of kit
send us a picture of them if you can and I may be able to offer further advice

Sorry,sorry, sorry, FFBox, that was me just being a cÃ¼nt without knowing the true nature of the problem involved. I take back all I implied about you and apologise for being so stupid.

What you have to do is to do what I said before, but with the caveat that you don't remove said badges, but delineate them exactly with black nasty before you embark upon cleaning them. The emphasise is on EXACTLY and on black nasty, since it sticks like shite to a blanket and as such is much better at keeping stains off a uniform than masking tape.
